Manfrotto 6.5" Short Column for 3001 & 190 Series Tripods

I had read some comments that this column would not work in my tripod but I decided to try it anyway. It did work and it arrived in a timely manner. I am very satisfied with the product and the service. Keep up the good work.

Not exactly like the original post that comes with the 190 tripod but I did need a much shorter column for when I do very low angle work. I have 2 tripod heads and this makes switching them very quick and easy.

You can spread out the tripod and get low and stable in awkward places and positions like straddling a stream of crevasse. Light, easy to insert tight fit. Just what I expected. Three tightening screws at top of pan head to insure fit. You can invert it and get your macro really tight. Just Great.

Called Manfrotto customer service to see if this column would fit my 719 tripod. They said no. So I asked for tech service and they said no also. I was sure it would, because I wanted to replace the weak ballhead/column combo unit that came with my tripod. So I ordered it anyhow,and guess what fits my Manfrotto tripod. The column that they said would not work. I guess someone else knows the product line a little bit better that they do.

I was sure it would, because I wanted to replace the weak ballhead that came with my tripod, that is combo unit, column and ballhead. So I ordered it anyhow and guess who knows Manfrotto's product better. Not them. Is working as I had hoped.

The short center column allows the user to spread the tripod's legs further to get the tripod lower to the ground, enabling a lower camera perspective. It's great for landscape photography, particularly with a super-wide angle lens, where one wants to get low and close to an interesting foreground object.

I had purchased 2 old Model #3030 Bogen tripods at a photoshop that was cleaning out it's store room. I also picked up a 3047 head. The tripods were scavanged into one good one but The heads were shot. I had no way of mounting the 3047 or any other modern head due to the center column just ending, basically like an open end of a pipe. It was geared too. I measured the diameter of what I needed & I fit the Bogen short column into the old center column. I had to make a bit of shim for a tight fit but it holds & works great. Now I can mount what ever head I want on this large, classic tripod.
